"I have had a great experience getting very balanced, fair and comprehensive health insurance advice from Robert Kolar. As an expat in Switzerland (less than three years living here) I have found it challenging to understand fully the nuances of the supplementary health insurance pillar. This is particularly so when products change pretty frequently. From my very first consultation with Robert, he has been very patient, explaining elements in full, giving me time in between calls to consider my options and to make decisions I am comfortable with. He has also been very open and available to answer follow-on questions. In addition, Robert looked at things from a medium and long term perspective and highlighted items for me consider to ensure I had an optimal insurance package. I would highly recommend Robert for anyone seeking health insurance guidance and advice. Regards Nuala"
"We were new to Switzerland and feel extremely fortunate having connected with the Expat Team. They were very helpful in navigating the different insurance companies, and plans for our family to ensure we find the best fit. Prior to that, we had met with a direct representative of an insurance company (won't say name) and had a horrible experience. After that, we contacted Expats and spoke with Benjamin who came to our home, walked through the different plans, insurances, and supplemental options. It was very clear and felt he had our best interest in mind. Months later we couldn't be happier with the decision. Highly recommended."
"I was advised by Robert Kolar who gave me excellent advice regarding health insurance in Switzerland. As a citizen of the United States, the Swiss system of healthcare was very confusing and difficult for me to figure it out on my own. After the initial consultation, everything was much clearer and I was able to take steps in the right direction. I highly recommend Expat Savvy Consulting."
"Working with Ben was great. Very prompt and responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone!!"
"Benjamin helped guide us moving between insurance providers having moved to Zurich 6 months ago. His local knowledge and advice was invaluable, very professional and I would highly recommend."
"I couldn't recommend Benjamin and his team more. Our move to Switzerland was a bit stressful but Expat Savy guided us through all our insurance and pension options with sound advice and tangible savings."
"I can highly recommend Robert Kolar. Professional approach and always avaiable for my questions. It is very important to find someone reliable, especially at the beginning! Before I did not have a good expirience with a person who just wanted to sell me the product not watching my needs… Now I feel in good hands at all events, I know Robert will not give air to me and not ignore the case. :) Polecam wspolprace! Emilia"

"Beyond the broker role, consulting and advices were useful to chose the right solution at the appropriate price. We are sometimes following up with expat-savvy in case for market updates, however not always getting fast responses"
"Мошенник!!! Не связывайтесь не в коем случае!!! Никакой поддержки после заключения договора!!!"
"We didn’t have any good experience with this company. At first Benjamin sounded very professional, caring and convincing, only to stop answering the phone as soon as we signed the deal. After we discovered that he managed to sign us for the same type of insurance twice with different companies by giving a completely wrong explanation and incorrect information. The documents he was showing were in German only, which we didn’t understand and he said that insurance company also operates in French, which is not true neither. AVOID!!!"
"AVOID! I made the mistake of contacting this agency to switch my health insurance... I was told by Benjamin not to worry that they would take care of everything, including the cancellation of my previous insurance. Three months after the deadline (November 30), I hear from my new insurance that they had to cancel my contract because my previous insurance NEVER received the cancellation. I contacted Benjamin several times requesting the confirmation about the cancellation and I was ignored. Now, I am left with another year of the insurance I wanted to cancel plus three pending bills."
